Air NZ rolls out naked safety vid

Bare air derrieres

Ensure Ease of Recovery with Asigra’s Agentless Software

Air New Zealand has rolled out a radical solution to the problem of self-loading cargo paying no attention whatsoever to its pre-flight safety briefings: Staff sporting nothing more than body paint and strategically-placed lifejackets...

The vid forms part of the airline's Nothing to Hide campaign, which also features a similarly silly TV commercial, released in May.

Now that Air New Zealand has got its passengers' attention, we have no doubt Ryanair will feel obliged to run a similar campaign with Carla Bruni doing the honours dressed in transparent lace smalls (NSFW). ®

Disappointed

That they didn't paint the hats and shoes.

Mine's the paintbrush and the tin of emulsion

Dunno what you mean, only us Kiwis have no accent, it's you poms that speak funny.

Years ago I was on a flight from Wellington to Christchurch just before a a big inter-region rugby game. There was a large contingent of club supporters (each with a carry-on luggage consisting of a dozen cans of Tui beer, none of which was consumed while on the 'plane) on board, and when the stewardesses started doing the safety demo these guys stood up and started doing it with them. They did a great job, and it was very funny to watch the stewardesses try to finish the demo while giggling hysterically. The whole plane gave them a round of applause when they finished, but they wouldn't do an encore.

Definitely the most fun I've had watching one of those safety demos.
